ABOUT THE EID: 

 

What is the Plainfield EID?

​

The Economic Improvement District (EID) was formed by property owners within a defined area of Plainfield to fund services and infrastructure that support business needs and workforce access.

 

Unlike general tax revenue, the EID’s assessments are paid only by property owners within the district and used only for benefits within the district. This targeted approach ensures businesses directly invest in improvements that help their operations thrive.

 

The EID supports:

• Commuter transportation and connectivity

• Marketing and recruitment for job seekers

• Partnerships for employee training and retention

• Strategic planning aligned with growth goals

 

The EID is governed by a board comprised of property owners and stakeholders who meet regularly to guide priorities.

What is the budget?
